DO YOU envision yourself working in medicine when you grow up? We have some exciting book series to help you choose different fields in the medical industry.

Eighteen children's books were written by doctors, Brandon Pham and Betty Nguyen, for Medical School for Kids. The book series offers kids an introducti­on to all the fields of the medical profession.

The book series is the easiest way to impart fundamenta­l ideas in health and medicine to our next generation of doctors, because is the best way to introduce basic concepts in health and medicine to our next generation of doctors.

These books feature beautiful illustrati­ons and simple explanatio­ns, teaching children (and adults alike!) about the anatomy, physiology, diseases of the body, and more.

One of the books, Good Night, Little Doctor, is a bedtime story that introduces children to lifelong lessons in medicine, including the importance of maintainin­g the highest level of integrity, seeing patients as individual­s beyond their symptoms, and focusing on healing, not just curing their illnesses.

It's suggested children start with the ABCs of Anatomy, which is a great way to introduce kids to the wonderful world of the human body.

The book is colourful and engaging; it takes children on an adventure through anatomy, from A to Z, and it's the perfect book for toddlers, and children who are curious about how their bodies work.

Another interestin­g book in the series is called Gastroente­rology for Kids. From this book, children can learn about where food goes after we eat it, the role of organs in the digestive system, common gastrointe­stinal diseases such as celiac disease and gastroente­ritis, and the importance of eating a healthy diet.

There are more books available for purchase on Amazon.com.
